February 22, 2011 – Comex Gold and Nymex Crude Oil Pop on Libya
With oil-rich Libya on the cusp of Civil War, Comex Gold traded back above $1400 the Troy ounce and
Nymex Crude Oil breaks out to a new multi-year high, and is approaching $100 per barrel. The yield
on the 10-Year US Treasury traded below 3.50%. Stock futures indicate a significantly lower open.
Comex Gold – ($1407.0) Tested $1411.5 this morning. Gold began the year in a parabolic rise that I
predicted would pop at least back to my annual pivot at $1356.5, and when that level gave way I
looked for my semiannual level at $1300.6 to hold, which it did on weakness to $1307.7 on January
28th. Gold appears positioned to rise towards monthly, quarterly and semiannual risky levels at
$1412.4, $1441.7 and $1452.6.

Nymex Crude Oil – ($95.39) A contract roll to the April contract plus the turmoil in Libya sparked a
pop from $86.05 to $98.48 this morning. On February 15th crude oil became oversold with a test of
$83.85 per barrel. Oil catapulted above my semiannual and monthly pivots at $87.52 and $91.83, and
there’s no resistances until we get to my annual, semiannual and quarterly risky levels are $99.91,
$101.92, $107.14 and $110.87.

semiannual and monthly risky levels are 2.690, 2.562, 2.441, and 2.322.
